Chapter 38 No Retreat

Blood splattered, a golden soldier was pierced by a spear in the neck, he let out a howl and reached out to grab the spear, but the next moment was kicked off the city wall by the Zhou soldier who came back from the side, but before the Zhou soldier had time to rejoice, a sickle next to him slashed and hooked his neck, pulled and pulled, and the Zhou soldier screamed and fell.

There was a fight on and under the wall, and there was hand-to-hand combat everywhere.

I don't know how long it took, but the Jin soldiers, who were more than half dead and wounded, finally stopped the impact, and the survivors dragged the dead and wounded Jin soldiers back with the sound of the trumpet.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the majestic city, which was no longer what it used to be, full of bloodstains, corpses and stumps, long stairs to the city scattered on the ground, and the bricks of the city wall were full of swords, guns and arrows, and fireworks were burning everywhere.

The sound of fighting receded, and the sound of moaning and crying and wailing was everywhere.

The living are weeping, the lightly wounded are groaning, and the seriously wounded are wailing in pain.

The sound of armor and swords clashing was mixed in, and it was the soldiers clearing the walls to be redeployed for another attack by the enemy.

Qing Hebo was covered in blood, his helmet didn't know where to throw it, his gray hair almost turned snow-white, and it fluttered messily in the wind.

He stood on the city wall and looked at the devastation with a heavy expression.

"How many casualties this time?" He asked.

"It hasn't been cleared yet." One of the generals bowed his head and said, "A rough estimate is that more than 1,000 people died in battle. ”

For an offensive and defensive battle, this number of casualties is normal.

However, this is the first time that I don't know how many casualties have been killed, and the number is staggering.

On the other hand, the reason why the number of dead and wounded is normal is also because after the dead and wounded, there are soldiers and horses to replenish, but now they have no soldiers and horses to make up.

One dies and one is missing, and one is injured and one is wasted.

Qing Hebo turned his head and looked backwards and left and right.

The original military formation has shrunk back to defense, although the camp flag is still there, but Qing Hebo knows that this army has been disabled.

On the Jin side, Qing Hebo looked ahead again, and compared to the camp that he couldn't see before, it was densely visible at this time.

In this battle, victory is not thought about for a long time, defeat and death are doomed, it depends on the sooner or later.

"Uncle." Suddenly, a general stepped forward and whispered, "The last general has observed, the Jin people in the west are weak, so it is better for me to protect the uncle to break through." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other generals moved slightly.

"Yes, uncle, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood."

"Uncle, the last general is willing to stay to resist the enemy, please uncle fight out of the encirclement and avenge the last general in the future."

One after another, a general stood up and said.

"Ridiculous!" Qing Hebo interrupted them in a deep voice, "I, Zou Jiang, have never escaped in front of the Jin people. ”

The generals had mixed expressions.

"Uncle, I'm not saying that Uncle ran away in a fight." A general said earnestly, "It's just that it's not worth dying like this..."

Qing Hebo interrupted him again.

"You're wrong, it's worth dying like this." He said, in a deep tone, "The most important thing in this defense battle is a breath, if I wait for a breakthrough, then this breath will be released, and our army will immediately disperse, and everyone will flee." ”

He pointed ahead.

"Under the eyes of these tens of thousands of gold thieves, can't you think of what the result will be?"

The generals looked ahead, their faces were pale, and they seemed to see the scene of everyone fleeing for their lives, and the iron cavalry of the Jin army raging and strangling.

"We can't break through in that kind of situation." Qing Hebo said in a calm voice, "What's more, we will collapse first inside, and the reinforcements outside will inevitably be affected." ”

Reinforcements....

I even thought about reinforcements.

Several generals looked bitter, it had been so many days, and they hadn't seen a single reinforcement at all, and they didn't know whether they all fled in fear or were disabled by the Jin people.

No news came in, and the Jin people did not retreat in the slightest.

They were thrown like a lonely boat in the ocean.

Uncle is still waiting for reinforcements, this is to lie to himself so strong.

"The gold thief is powerful, but as long as we stick to the camp, there is more hope of survival than running in the wilderness." Qinghe Bo said solemnly, "When the time comes, when the reinforcements arrive, the internal and external attacks will definitely be able to fight a way out." ”

He said with his voice raised.

"Since the day we became soldiers, we have already sacrificed ourselves for the country, and we need to kill the enemy bravely, if anyone dares to retreat."

As he spoke, he swung the long knife in his hand down, and the helmet of a golden man who had fallen to the ground was slashed with a single blow.

"Rectify the Fa on the spot."

All the generals knelt solemnly and shouted in unison.

"Come, take advantage of this to cook." Qing Hebo said, looking at the rear, "The grain and grass are already insufficient, so use them appropriately." ”

All the generals said yes in unison again, got up and took the order.

Qing Hebo stood alone and looked back.

Reinforcements...

This northern land is no longer his world, and his heart is full of indignation.

The night seems to be the clarion call for an armistice in many places,

In front of a small hill, looking at the golden soldiers who receded like a tide, one person pushed the dead soldiers who were upside down on his body, and crawled over a messy battlefield and into a ravine.

The ravine was crowded with soldiers, all of them scarred and frightened.

"Lord Qi, Jin Bing has retreated." The man said in a dumb voice, "Let's take advantage of the night, let's retreat while the night is dark." ”

In the group of soldiers, a general who was wounded in the shoulder came over.

"Can't be returned." He said, "Uncle is still waiting for reinforcements." ”

"Your Excellency." The voice of the person who came was hoarse and crying, "The Jin people have besieged it for so many days and so many times, and the uncle is afraid that he is no longer there." ”

He looked around again.

"We're the only ones left, even if we break through, what can we do."

Break through, how can you break through, if you can break through, they would have gone in a long time ago, where is the use of waiting until now.

The general's expression was sad and indignant.

"But we can't go back."

"Your Excellency." Everyone who came was about to cry, "You are already very heroic, you have not failed the court and your uncle, so many reinforcements, others have retreated, only you have not." ”

The general stood up and slammed the knife in his hand to the ground.

"It's not that we don't retreat, it's that we can't retreat now." He shouted in a dumb voice, pointing behind him, "Do you think that the Jin people didn't surround us, did they really forget?" This is just a cat playing with mice, they are waiting for us to retreat, once they retreat, they will force us into the pulp river, the weather is cold, we don't even have a few military horses, how can we retreat? How do we run? When the time comes, freeze to death, starve to death, and die of exhaustion, and it is enough for the Jin soldiers to watch us from behind, without a single shot or arrow. ”

Those present listened to it with dead faces.

It turned out that they had already been ambushed.

I thought it was to help others attack the Jin people, but it turned out that the Jin people had already opened their pockets and invited them in.

"Since the Jin people let the uncle fall into an ambush, why didn't they prepare in advance to deal with the reinforcements that followed." The general sat down again and said dejectedly, "No wonder those guys refused to come when they heard about the help, and ran away with their men and horses. ”

The people around thought of the few military horses that had run before leaving, and they couldn't tell whether they were angry or envious.

"Why don't they tell us." Someone muttered.

"Tell us, shall we listen?" Someone whispered.

These words silenced the surroundings.

"Okay, it's useless to say this now, you can't retreat now, so you can only continue to attack and defend." The general took a deep breath and raised his head, with a resolute expression, "Wait for the uncle to break out of the encirclement, or if reinforcements come." ”

The first sentence made everyone breathe, and the latter sentence was deflated.

"Uncle must still be alive, and the Jin people are still mobilizing troops and horses to attack." "We still have hope." ”

How else could it be?

Retreat is death, and advancing is death, then, wait for death.

There was a dead silence in the ravine, and suddenly there was a tremor of the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves and the light of torches.

"The Golden Man is here again!"

The people in the ravine shouted, and their faces turned pale.

This time, they didn't even give them a respite, and it seemed that they didn't have the patience to tease them.

The commander raised his sword.

"Formation, battle." He said in a hoarse voice.

What formation can they, the remnants of the spear-wielding, have to fight against the cavalry of the Jin people, and it will be finished in less than three shocks.

The soldiers clenched their spears and jumped out of the ravine, and at the moment of death, they suddenly went numb.

Before the cavalry approached, the buzzing sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the soldiers who were about to form had to jump back into the ravine in a disorderly manner.

The puff arrow fell to the ground, and it was a rocket, and it was a flash of gas in an instant, and the surrounding area of the ravine was bright and clear, and the soldiers in the ravine were like lambs to the slaughter.

The golden soldiers who were getting closer and closer let out a wild laugh.

One of the soldiers suddenly grabbed his bow and crossbow and shot the last arrow at the golden soldier.

This soldier's archery skills are excellent, and he flew towards a golden soldier led by him.

With a bang, the golden soldier raised his hand to block the arrow, raised his hand with a mocking, and pulled his bow to release the arrow.

In the light of the fire, the soldier snorted and fell backwards as he was shot through by the arrow.

The wild laughter was louder.

There is not only despair before death, but also humiliation.

The general jumped out of the ravine, without saying a word, holding a knife like a person rushing forward.

He was going to think that his flesh was going to meet the cavalry.

How is it also death, rushing closer, maybe you can kill a golden soldier on the back, all the soldiers jumped out, whether they can run or can't run, whether they are full arms or stump arms, holding the weapon tightly biting their lips and rushing forward quietly and silently.

The humming sound tore through the night sky.

The general's eyes widened and waited for the moment when the arrow cluster came, but the next moment he saw the golden soldier holding a bow and crossbow in front of him howling and getting off his horse.

What's going on?

The general was stunned, another wave of buzzing sounded, and the general subconsciously raised his head, and saw countless sharp arrows flying overhead through the firelight behind him.

Coming from behind him, he headed for the golden soldiers.

Behind!

The general turned back in disbelief, because the light of the fire blocked his sight, and he couldn't see anything in the darkness, but he could hear it.

I heard the frightened and angry cries of the Jin people, heard the sound of the Jin people screaming and landing, and heard the vibration of the ground like thousands of troops rushing in the night.

Reinforcements!

Reinforcements!
